The New York Islanders lost again, at home again, despite achieving the miracle of two power play goals.
The loss is nothing, really, the way this team has been headed for most of this season, but the manner was a little disturbing. The Isles had a pretty good first period and took a 1-0 lead on a Bo Horvat power play goal(!), but things started to change after Max Tsyplakov was given a quickly-rescinded major for a high hit that knocked Ryan Poehling out of the game, the Flyers went into full frontier justice mode and the Islanders didn’t really respond.
